Directed by Ray Milland himself, “A Man Alone” stands apart from traditional urban noir. Instead of rain-slicked streets, its moral shadows stretch across a desolate desert town. Milland’s performance as a mysterious drifter accused of murder brings the introspective fatalism typical of film noir into the Western landscape. The supporting cast — including Ward Bond and Raymond Burr — adds weight and menace, framing the film as both a psychological thriller and a study in frontier corruption.
